Greetings! I'm a long-time boost user and over the years I have posted defects into boost trac for the components I have used. I was reviewing the backlog on boost::uuid and in trac and it needs a bit of grooming. I started submitting some PRs to resolve some of these. Edward D. in the CMT group was reviewing some of them and mentioned that there is no active maintainer for the library, and invited me to introduce myself here.
I am currently a committer on the Apache Thrift project and I have 20+ years development experience with C++. I have good experience at backlog grooming, and I am very focused on quality. I believe firmly in testing all code branches, and using coverage tools to prove it. I also assisted the glibc team in getting started with Coverity Scan which helped lead to resolution of 138 defects at last count. My current position is a Software Architect at HPE SimpliVity where I have been for the last ~7 years (I'm easy to find on LinkedIn, hopefully). I live in Westford, MA, USA.
Given there is no maintainer for boost::uuid currently, I would like to petition for that responsibility. It is a relatively small library in the portfolio and seems like a good introduction to being a maintainer in such a widely used project.
Thanks for your consideration,
Would you please follow the instructions at http://www.boost.org/community/official_library_maintainer_program.html to become the maintainer of the Boost uuid library.
Thanks !

Hi Jim - BLOM (that link above) is for companies/organizations wishing to maintain libraries and receive some recognition in return. Are you wanting to this as yourself or as part of HPE SimpliVity? michael -- Michael Caisse Ciere Consulting ciere.com
